Agree --- I agree. I believe many software producers have mandatory testing phase before releasing the software, however, it may be just formal procedure without too much real focus on real testing (in order to detect faults/bugs/vulnerabilities). I imagine this can be also solved with legislation, if, for instance, by law, software producers are obliged to send the software to a special independent "testing company". This shouldn't be done for all software out there on the market, but at least for software used in industry or CI (hospitals, power plants, national security, government and so on).
